Grandpa Phil and his friend Karen came to visit us last week. We welcomed them with a large marching band. It was the least we could do.

The OSU Beavers had a big Homecoming carnival that we took our visitors to. Cole and Daddy really enjoyed the big bouncy thing!

Grandpa Phil and Karen really know how to entertain the boys...or was it the other way around?
With playgrounds...

Climbing walls...

Reading...

And stacking (or shall I say knocking down) blocks...
We took the boys and Grandpa Phil and Karen to the movies. It was the boys first time in a movie theater and they loved it! It was at our local independent theater and on the first Monday of the month they show a 'free' 1/2 hour show for kids...as a fundraiser for local non-profits. We got to see Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving. It was perfect...they had free popcorn and they didn't turn the lights all the way off. Several of the guys friends came too! Here is Dylan with his hand in his popcorn bag sitting next to his friend Mei Zhen.Thanks for the fantastical visit Grandpa Phil and Karen! We can't wait for your return!!
